What products do you need for a good skincare routine?

Do you already have a good skincare routine? Do you use the right products and the right step-by-step plan or do you actually have no idea what you are doing? If the latter applies to you, then you have now found the right blog! Today we are going to talk about the various products you can use for an optimal skincare routine. So quickly read our blog, order the products and follow the steps so that you too can enjoy healthy and glowing skin.

Step 1: make sure your skin is clean with the right cleanser

To get off to a good start and achieve even skin, you should of course start by cleansing your skin. It is important that you use the right cleanser and fortunately we can help with this. In our range, you will find different types of cleansers that cleanse your skin properly and deeply without the risk of irritation. Highly recommended and one of our simplest cleansers is the Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. Another highly recommended one from the well-known brand Fair & White is the Fair & White Cleanser Lotion So White.

Cleansing your face with the above products is the foundation for the rest of your skincare routine. It is therefore hugely important that you always start by cleansing your face properly. This is because it helps remove make-up residues, dirt and excess oils.

Step 2: calm and soothe your skin with the right toner

After you have properly and carefully cleansed your skin, it is time to smooth and soften your skin. A toner has various ingredients that repair your skin and make it smoother and fresher. It is important to choose the right toner. In fact, toners can only be for certain skin types.

Once you have chosen the right toner, apply it to your skin. With the right toner, you can feel and see the difference almost immediately. As with the cleanser, we have several toners from the Fair & White brand. A popular choice is the Fair & White Anti-Blemish Face Duo. Another popular toner is Makari’s. Choose the Makari Exclusive Toning Face Gel Duo.

Step 3: Choose an exfoliant or peel for extra hydration

Do you often suffer from dry skin? Then choose to use an exfoliant or peel several times a week. Exfoliants help get rid of impurities and add extra hydration to the skin. This gives your skin a softer look and feel and gives it a chance to get more moisture in.

There are several types of exfoliators from different brands. Yet at A&F Cosmetics, we only choose the best and these remain the Makari and Fair & White brands. Some popular exfoliators are the Fair & White Sugar Exfoliator For Face Gold and the Makari Pure Radiance Exfoliating Sugar Scrub.

Step 4: time to add a serum

Your skin is completely cleansed and clean? Check! Now it’s time to address any skin concerns with the right serum. Serums are bottles of various purposes, but they are all highly activating cosmetics products that help with dry skin. If you don’t know what to start with, we recommend starting with the Dr Rashel Brightening & Anti Aging Vitamin C Serum or the Fair & White Brightening Serum.

Step 5: eye cream for extra vitality

The skin around your eyes is very thin. It is therefore one of the first places where you start to see ageing, wrinkles and fatigue. Fortunately, there are several products that help against this. By using the right eye cream or eye drops several times a week, you will smooth and hydrate the skin around your eyes.

This reduces wrinkles and helps against ageing skin. Highly recommended is the Makari Retinol Control Line Smoothing Eye Cream. This eye cream helps boost collagen production, resulting in fewer wrinkles and rejuvenated skin. The other recommended product is the Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Blend Vitamin C Under Eye Gel Drops.

Step 6: Choose the right moisturiser for a natural glow

We have talked about moisturising several times in this blog. Your skin needs a lot of hydration and the best way to manage this is with the right moisturiser. You can find various types of moisturisers. Often, a moisturizer is used in the form of a day cream or night cream. Ideal to start or end your day with. Our favourites are the Fair & White Anti-Aging Hydra Lift Cream Gold and the Makari Caviar Enriched Soap Trio.

Step 7: use SPF and protect your skin from UV rays

The final step in your skincare routine is to use SPF, or sunscreen. The sun can do immense damage to your skin. If you do not protect your skin from UV radiation, the other steps in your skincare routine will be of little use. We therefore always recommend using an SPF product before going outside. For example, we regularly use the Cetaphil Daily Defence Moisturiser SPF 50+ and the Naturalle Multi-Action Extreme 3-pc set.

Do you still need help with your skincare or have questions about the skincare roadmap? Then get in touch with us! Easily and quickly order the right products for your skincare routine and get natural, healthy skin!

該買房還是租房?看貸款負擔率&房租收入比!

裝修

(本篇文章經「股感知識庫」授權轉載)

究竟「買房好」還是「租房好」?

專家名嘴常說:「買房就是一種價值儲存,現在不買,以後更買不起。」、「不買房,你的錢只會越來越薄。」

當你因此盲從買了房,卻因為要付遠超自己所能負擔的債務,生活水準驟降,最後因為突發狀況以致週轉不靈,到頭來還是兩頭空。

專家名嘴卻又常說:「租房可以讓你每隔一段時間就住新的房子。」、「租房就可以省下很多繳 貸款 的錢,來提升自己的生活品質。」

當你因此決定從此租房,卻但仍須面對過高的租金、生活環境不安全、不確定性等風險,例如:可能換到有漏水的房子、遇到惡鄰居…等;或突然就被告知不續約,於是又要到處奔波看房子……等,這些問題也是屢見不鮮。

總而言之,買房還是租房,往往取決於「經濟負擔」及「生活品質」!接下來筆者將試著用兩個公式,告訴你究竟如何達成兩者平衡!

買房時,房貸超過收入 50% 就出事啦!

討論這個問題,可以透過「房貸負擔率」來推敲,簡單來說就是指「每月賺的錢,用來還房貸的比例」。如果計算出來的比例「超過五成」,亦即你每個月賺的錢有一半以上是要拿去還房貸的,那代表這間房子對現在的你來說太貴了,不適合你買!

計算範例情境一:
假設A每月可支配所得約 40,000 元,看上了一間每個月需繳納 25,000 元貸款的房子。這樣A之於這間房子的貸款負擔率即為 25,000 / 40,000 = 62.5% ,超過一般認定合理的 50%。代表這間房子如果A買了,會有過於沈重的房貸負擔。
若從數字面來看,付完該月房貸後,A這個月能用的前只剩 15,000 元。這筆金額必須支付吃、穿、水電、網路、通勤費…等等,在沒有其他娛樂支出下,必要生活支出就已經有點捉襟見肘了!

計算範例情境二:
假設A在相同薪資水準下,看上的是一間每個月需繳納 18,000 元貸款的房子。這樣A之於這間房子的貸款負擔率及為 18,000 / 40,000 = 45% ,低於一般認定合理的 50%。代表這間房子應該是A可以負擔的。

**何謂 Google SEO 檢測:一探檢測網站健康度的利器**

何謂 Google SEO 檢測:一探檢測網站健康度的利器

當我們談到 Google SEO 檢測時,首先要了解的是 E-E-A-T,即專業知識、經驗、權威性和可信度。這些都是提升網站排名的重要關鍵。你可以從檢視網站內容的專業水準、作者背景以及引用次數等方面著手,確保你的網站在這些指標上表現突出。

不要忽略多管道流量來源最佳化。SEO 不僅限於搜尋引擎,你還需分析社群媒體、電子郵件行銷與付費廣告等渠道帶來的流量,以便全面提升網站曝光率和轉換率。
本文歸納全篇注意事項與風險如下,完整文章請往下觀看

  • 須注意事項 :
    • SEO 檢測工具過於依賴標準化指標,可能忽略了特定行業或市場的獨特需求,導致優化策略無法全面覆蓋。
    • 現有檢測工具多數僅能檢查技術層面的問題,而對於內容質量及用戶體驗的評估較為薄弱,難以全面提升網站價值。
    • 部分檢測結果解釋過於專業,非技術背景的使用者難以理解並應用,使得實際優化效果打折扣。
  • 大環境可能影響:
    • 隨著搜索引擎演算法的不斷更新,其變化速度和複雜性增加,傳統 SEO 檢測工具可能無法及時適應新規則,導致檢測結果失真。
    • 競爭對手利用更先進或定制化的 SEO 工具來快速響應市場變動,可能削弱自身在搜尋排名中的優勢地位。
    • 網絡安全威脅日益增加,如果 SEO 檢測工具本身存在漏洞,被駭客攻擊後可能洩露敏感數據或影響網站運營。

GRO Lash Serum Gave Me Lashes I Love

As a beauty writer and yoga instructor, I take my A.M. and P.M. self-care rituals seriously — from skincare to haircare and supplements to lymphatic drainage. And just like your skin and hair, your eyelashes need and deserve the same loving self-care as the rest of your body. That’s why I haven’t ever been willing to resort to non-vegan lash products. 

Fortunately, I’ve finally found the perfect solution! Read on to learn more about my journey to better lashes, including what eyelash product you really should be using to get thicker, fuller looking lashes.

How GRO Lash Serum Is Different

As a contact lens wearer with somewhat sensitive eyes, I take extra care when considering what products I put on the delicate areas surrounding the eyes. A lash enhancer made with plant-based ingredients is a huge plus for me. I’ve heard that some eyelash serums on the market can lead to brittle lashes and leave eyes and eyelids irritated. No thanks!

That’s why I was excited to try GRO Lash Serum, formerly known as vegaLASH Volumizing Serum, from VEGAMOUR. This serum is cruelty-free and does not contain the prostaglandin, chemicals or hormones found in other eyelash serums out there. Instead, it features the following natural key ingredients such as red clover and mung bean.

      The plant actives help to encourage visibly thicker, fuller, more luxurious looking lashes! Being vegan, I also appreciate that the serum is 100% vegan and plant-based, just like me!

      GRO Ultimate Lash and Brow Kit – Replenish

       

      My Daily Lash Routine

      When I received the eyelash serum, I was impressed by its minimalist, muted-pink packaging. And once I opened it, I found that the perfectly-designed, ultra-thin tip made applying the serum directly to my lash hair follicles a breeze — even along the tricky lower lash line.

      The product directions state to apply GRO Lash Serum twice daily for the first two months and once daily thereafter. Here’s how I do it:

      • Each morning after my skincare routine, I apply the eyelash serum.
      • Holding the wand, I gently apply the serum to the upper and lower lash lines, directly at the hair follicle root.
      • If it’s a makeup day, I usually do the rest of my makeup before applying eye makeup to let the serum dry (even though you can immediately apply makeup over the serum if you like).

        For the first two months, I repeated the same routine at night, minus the makeup. It’s also advised to avoid oil-based remover or products, so I switched my eye makeup remover to one that doesn’t include oil.

        What I Love About GRO Lash Serum

        The serum works much quicker than I expected. It only took only a few weeks for a noticeable transformation to happen!

        Other benefits of the lash serum that I observed included the following:

        • No eye irritation or redness.
        • No eyelid irritation or discomfort.
        • It’s super easy-to-apply — thanks to its precision tip.
        • You’re able to apply makeup ASAP after using it, which is a morning must-have if you’re pressed for time.
        • Both my top and lower eyelashes looked thicker, fuller and longer-looking about two weeks.
        • On days that I’m not on camera, I can skip mascara, which is something I would never have done in the past!

        Rave Results from Real Women

        Don’t just take my word for it. Read what other happy customers had to say about their results.

        • “I’ve been using this for about a month now and am very pleased with my lashes!” -Cathy A.
        • “LOVE. My REAL lashes replaced my eyelash extensions.” -Rachel K.
        • “Excellent results. Originally gifted by my sis-in-law, this product is amazing … A forever product for me.” -Naja F.
        • “I have used 2 other high-end serums, and I didn’t get the same results that I’ve received with Vegamour. It doesn’t irritate my eyelid, and I like that the ingredients are natural. One tip! I used it every night without fail. I did not skip one night. This is essential to getting results! Will keep using to maintain results, too!” -Erin

        Cardanol based polyamine coatings for anti-corrosive applications

        Cardanol was successfully converted to polyamine resins. The fabricated coatings were hydrophobic and depicted excellent corrosion resistance.

        A new study deals with the synthesis of polyamine (PA) resin-based coatings from cardanol (Col) with three different ratios (PA1-PA3). PA1 coatings seemed to have the best physico-mechanical properties and are considered to be the optimum composition for the preparation of durable coatings. Thermal analysis was performed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) which revealed that these coatings were stable up to 520 °C. Contact angle values (117°) suggested that the PA1 coating has self-cleaning ability and less wettability. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of these coatings was examined through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) investigations. The superior corrosion inhibition properties of PA1 (one-component) coatings were compared with reported Col-based epoxy (two-component) coatings.

        Less consumption of energy, time, and material

        As the researchers point out, such one-component coatings may be used in place of epoxy coatings that could eliminate the usage of two-component coatings resulting in less consumption of energy, time, and material. Moreover, their work supports an approach for the synthesis of green polymeric coating using economic precursors in absence of expensive catalysts/solvents.

        The study has been published in Progress in Organic Coatings, Volume 174, January 2023.

        What We’re Reading This Week: The CES Special

        Time to read: 2 min

        We eat, drink, and sleep manufacturing at Fictiv. And when we’re not finding the best manufacturing technology and solutions for our customers, we’re busy learning what’s new and keeping across the latest trends. If you’re wondering what’s new in the world of manufacturing, check out our weekly insights, a quick roundup of what caught our eye.

        This week is a big week for innovation. Close to 200,000 people, including almost 2,000 journalists, descended on Las Vegas for the annual tech-fest that is the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES 2020. For that reason, much of what we’ve read and watched this week has been centered around that event. Here are a few of our highlights.

        • We opened the week with our own CEO Dave Evans’ column in Forbes outlining his expectation of this year’s event and an overview of the ingredient technologies driving innovation. CES 2020: What’s Driving Innovation.
        • One of the first innovations on display at CES this week was the Samsung Ballie, presented in the first keynote of the event. This ball-shaped combination of a smart home device and a robotic companion made it to the top of Time’s “25 Best Products of CES 2020” list.
        • The Consumer Technology Association’s Innovation Scorecard is presented at CES every year, and this year a record 15 states are listed as Innovation Champions. You can see all the scores online, including the International Innovation Scorecard topped by Estonia, with the USA not far behind in fourth spot.
        • According to WIRED, Bell and Hyundai Soared into the Air Taxi Race this week at CES. Both the helicopter maker and the global manufacturing giant unveiled their concepts for flying urban mobility.
        • US Today picked out their own favorites from CES 2020, including a flying car, inkjet-printed makeup, foldable screen tablets, Delta Air Lines’ parallel reality, plant based pork from Impossible Foods, and new streaming service Quibi.
        • Away from CES, IndustryWeek writer Stephen Gold says thanks to the 2010s for Four Compelling Changes from the Past Decade, citing the Uber/Amazon/Googlization of society, AI, connectivity, and the expansion of IoT.
        • Thomas Insights shared the news that, after dedicating months to the redesign of its Max jet, Boeing has announced that it will suspend production of the controversial airplane beginning in January.
        • According to Forbes writer Marco Annunziata, 3D printing is coming of age. He touches on the remarkable progress made thus far, as we’ve gone from simple models and figurines to medical devices and implantable human body parts. Meanwhile, 3D printing technology for industry has also progressed very rapidly, and it’s arguably the space to watch closely in 2020. Read his article 2020: The Year Ahead In 3D.

        That’s a wrap for this week, if you like what you see or would like to hear more about a specific topic, drop us a note on one of our social channels.
